Rock Albums Released on This Day in History
The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
2003
Radiohead
– Hail to the Thief
Hail to the Thief is Radiohead raiding the system they once rebuilt—chaotic, paranoid, and brutally alive. Hooks clash with static, dread pulses through melody, and every track scans the air for meaning in a broken world. It’s Radiohead, unfiltered.
1978
The Rolling Stones
– Some Girls
Some Girls is a record about survival, lust, boredom, and bravado. It spits and struts through genres like a band that knows the only way to stay young is to stay reckless. Mick Jagger is practically unhinged here—in the best way.
Dire Straits
– Dire Straits
Dire Straits’ self-titled debut album stands out for its effortless ability to straddle the line between rock, blues, and folk, creating a sound that feels both classic and refreshingly understated. It sounds like it was dropped into the punk-soaked streets of London from a parallel universe.
